Startled, Kutii stopped. He straightened his back and breathed deep as tremors of sensation rocked his body. His eyes were still swathed in folds of darkness by the blindfold, but inside his head fiery colors swirled and danced.

“Kutii.”

Someone or something called his name. He heard it clearly—not with his ears but through an older sense.

“Kutii. I’m coming.”

He smiled and tears gathered in the corners of his eyes. “So,” he replied in a hoarse whisper. “You have not forgotten.”

The angry shouts of the overseer were no more to him than the buzzing of a troublesome fly. And the whip, when it sliced through the raw flesh on Kutii’s back, had no power to cause him true pain. His legs began to move again. The muscles of his shoulders tensed as he threw his might against the wheel.

“You have not forgotten,” the Indian repeated, as his bare feet found the worn path in the sugar house floor. And his heart soared far above the smoke of the boiling cane kettles, higher even than the mountaintop, higher even than the clouds.

The promised one was coming. She would free him from his torment. She would pull the blinders from his eyes, and he would see her in all her golden glory. Kutii chuckled as the overseer brought the whip down upon his back again and again.

“Crazy Indian!” the German muttered.

But Kutii’s thin lips curved upward in a slow, deliberate triumphant smile.
